shall be treated as if it were never executed by the parties. Shareholder

3. Consideration and Mutual Release. In consideration of and subject to
the terms set forth in Section 2, each party on behalf of itself, its partners,

4. Waiver of Civil Code Section 1542. Notwithstanding
Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that:
A general release does not extend to claims which
the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time
of executing the agreement, which if known by him must have materially
affected his settlement with the debtor.
this Agreement releases all damages or losses whether known, unknown, foreseen
or unforeseen which each party may have against the other party relating to the
Purchase Agreement. Each party acknowledges that it understands and acknowledges
the significance and consequences of such specific waiver of Section 1542, and
hereby assumes full responsibility for any damages or losses she, in the future,
may incur or may have incurred.

by each party after having been apprised of all relevant information and all
data. Each party, in executing this Agreement, has not relied on any
inducements, promises, or representations made by any other party hereto, or
their employees or agents, and the execution of this Agreement does not
represent an admission of liability on the part of any party hereto.
5.2 In the event that legal proceedings are commenced
to enforce or interpret any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, or for
breach of any such terms and conditions, the losing party in such proceeding
shall pay to the prevailing party such reasonable sums for attorneys' fees and
costs incurred as may be fixed by the court or jury in addition to any other
relief to which it may be entitled.
5.3 This Agreement is to be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.
